Radio MARCA say talks are going well and Pepe is set to follow the likes of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos in penning a new deal.

Talks are said to be progressing well between the defender and Los Blancos officials, and a two-year renewal with the option of a further season appears to suit all parties.

Real Madrid’s aim is clear; to secure a number of their key individuals to extended contracts, and with that in mind, Cristiano Ronaldo, Isco and Dani Carvajal are the other names in line to receive improved terms in the coming months.
